Know before you buy
Yes, this is an original OEM Breville dual-wall filter basket, not an aftermarket replacement.
This basket is designed for Breville machines that use a 54 mm portafilter, including the Barista Express, Bambino Plus, and Barista Pro series. Please check your specific machine model to ensure it is compatible with the 54 mm standard.
A dual-wall basket, also known as a pressurized basket, is designed to create consistent pressure even if your grind size isn't perfect. It is ideal for beginners or those using pre-ground coffee, whereas single-wall baskets require a precise grind to achieve proper extraction.
No, you should only clean this basket by hand using warm water and a mild dish soap. Using a dishwasher or abrasive cleaning materials can damage the finish and affect the performance of the filter.
No, this specific basket is designed for a 1-cup capacity. If you are looking to pull a double shot, you will need to use a 2-cup filter basket.
